Viper

I have a Limbsaver on my Rem .270 with factory synthetic stock...I can shoot it all day. I talked my buddy into putting one on his .30-06...made a big difference. Not sure which model.

Now those are cool, and good price! What is the company name for skull cleaning? Do you use beetles?

I've worn the Meindl Perfekt Hiker for several years...many miles on them off-trail. I still give them praises almost every time I put them on. The cork bed molds to your foot for a perfekt fit. It's the first pair of "low tops" I've had for hunting, and really like them. The heat escapes out the top, keeping my feet cooler. I wear a low gaiter with them to keep out the debris. I noticed on the deer hunt, a small portion of sole is starting to separate, and there's not much tread left. I will just "shoe goo" it and start the shopping process. I'd buy the Meindls again if they still fit the same, but am open to others. My feet have grown particular so I know it won't be easy. I wear Keen light hiker on a daily basis and really like the wide foot bed.

It's like that everywhere now. Way too many tags issued!....er..."hunter opportunity".

Great job on switching gears and gettin' it done. Nice story, great pics/video....I was getting anxious to see that muley in the dirt. I love scouting almost as much as the hunt. It's great when it pays off.

Wow! What a toad! ....in the low desert too.

Congrats! Enjoyed the story and pics.

I went with the Aimpoint Patrol model (something like that). It's less money and battery life is way longer. I got a great price at Midway USA.

Very cool buck! It's a great feeling to harvest a good buck you've been scouting...and no one else got him first. Congrats!

I have that same rifle. I have taken two muleys and one WT, but the longest shot was about 80 yards. That was years ago before my first bolt rifle. It is a pleasure to carry, and definitely doable, within 200 yards. I much prefer my bolt .270 for longer shots. WT are small targets and very tough animals. In the country they live in, if you don't kill them on the spot, you may not find it. Carry it in case you have an opportunity to use it. If the shot is longer than 200 yards, use your buddies rifle.

Congrats! Way to stick with it and work through all the trouble. Heck of a trip. Good write up....I could feel the emotion. It's on my bucket list for sure.

Where are you located?

Nice read! I felt like I was there. Congrats on a nice buck. I too have experienced the company of "the lizard"...while hiding from the hot afternoon, between the morning and evening hunt, under a large juniper.

Thanks for the stand Justin, it looks great! Maybe this weekend I can get my steel hung on it and try it out. Rem300, It's roughly 3 1/2' x 3 1/2'

Wow! Holy smokes! Where in heck did you find that dude?! Heck of an elk rack too! Congrats!!

Great video! What I do here in AZ doesn't come close to his adventures...but the same spirit lives inside me...in all of us that live, talk, think ethical hunting.

Evan, congrats to you and your brother. I look forward to hearing more about it if you can stop by deer camp.

Cool, clean design. How does the skull mount to the hanger? What if it was a rifle kill...got any other plate designs?

Great trip! I'd love to do that some day.

I shoot Core Lokts out of my Rem 700 .270. They group well for inexpensive factory loads. I've shot three bucks that have dropped in there tracks...no exit. No experience with the Ballistic Tips. You want a quick expansion bullet to drop them on contact. They are tough little buggers and hard to find with a small hole punched through them.

Very cool experience with your son! I've had similar experiences with my sons and I miss those days. My boys are all grown up now and it's harder to share the outdoors. Get all you can now...they grow up too fast.

Great bull!!!! Holy smokes!! Now we need the story.

I also have had tinnitus for many years. I can usually hear a rattler. High frequency beeps/whistles I don't hear, and background noise kills my hearing. Funny though...I can hear the faintest elk bugle. My ringing ears sound more like cicadas...every second of every day. Does anyone know of supplements that may help?

Great video! Very well done! Awesome hunt....congrats!

Way cool!!! You are blessed!
